Resident Wellness

Resident Wellness

We care about the well-being of our trainees. Faculty, staff, and residents at UCLA have access to a wealth of tools that support their mental, emotional, and physical health. Living in a new place can be stressful by nature, so it's critical to know what services are available to you so you can look after yourself and make the most of your educational experience.

All physicians have access to self-screening tools available on the ACGME.org website: https://dl.acgme.org/pages/well-being-tools-resources

• Trainees have access to self-screening tools and other mental health resources through the UCLA Behavioral Wellness Center: https://medschool.ucla.edu/faculty-and-staff/wellness/behavioral-wellness-center
